Duncan Hines is best known for its boxed cake mixes, but now the brand is branching out with the debut of Layered Pudding cups.
Duncan Hines Layered Pudding is essentially a cross between cake and pudding. Each single-serve cup features two layers of cake-flavored pudding for a unique dessert experience. The pudding cups all come in three different cake-inspired varieties, each of which features a tasty pair of flavors. There's a Yellow Cake With Chocolate Frosting Pudding that combines chocolate frosting pudding and yellow cake-flavored pudding, and a Frosting Sugar Cookie Pudding that pairs vanilla frosting with a sugar cookie-flavored pudding. Finally, there's a Salted Caramel Brownie Pudding that combines salted caramel and chocolate brownie-flavored puddings. Best of all, there are four pudding cups in each pack so there's enough to go around.
